<I>Crash.net</I> winner tastes life as a racer.

Crash.net competition winner Cate Milton enjoyed a day with Team RAC's Colin Turkington to celebrate his position in the 2006 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

Cate won a national RAC competition to get up-close and personal and celebrate what has so far been an amazing season for Team RAC.

She was able to spend the day with Colin in London's Covent Garden ahead of the all-important final race of the season at Silverstone this Sunday, was able to check out Team RAC's showcar and, to top it all, had the chance to go head to head with Colin.

"I had such a great day with Colin," Cate said. "It was brilliant to be involved with the team and I wish Colin and Team RAC the very best of luck for Silverstone!"

Turkington, who stands an outside chance of claiming the title this weekend in the season finale at Silverstone, added that it was nice to spend time with the fans - especially those with such an enthusiasm for the BTCC.

"It's always good to get people with an interest in the sport involved with the team and to share our celebrations at this exciting time," he said. "Cate showed a real enthusiasm for Team RAC and was a joy to have around."
